Commercial Fly Control
The Problem:
Flies are a nuisance to customers and employees. The presence of flies in and around a business can create a number of problems:
- Flies project an unsanitary image
- Flies adulterate food products
- Most importantly, flies transmit disease
Flies are responsible for more human disease transmission (worldwide) than any other insect. For example; the common housefly has been found to carry over 100 pathogenic organisms on its body. One of these pathogens is Salmonella, a bacterium that causes serious food-borne illness in humans. Although fly management can be very complex, our Rose team can create a custom, comprehensive fly management program for your facility.
The Solution:
Our fly management programs are based on IPM (Integrated Pest Management) and include a variety of strategies designed to manage fly populations by limiting breeding sites, food sources, resting areas and points of entry into buildings as well as eliminating or reducing adult flies. Any combination of the following Integrated Pest Management strategies can be utilized depending on the species of fly involved and the particular situations encountered.
- Cleaning Practices
- Sealing Outside Walls
- Insect Light Traps
- Garbage Handling
- Screening
- Glue or Jar Traps
- Lighting
- Plastic Door Strip
